I swallowed a gulp down my throat, as I walked through the hallway. People were staring at me, they had their eagle eyes fixed on me. My hands tightened into fists as one of those watching me whispered something to her friend and both of them started laughing. They were pointing at me, so I could tell the whispers were about me. Now, I realized that the lecture room was a far distance from the school park. I never realized that shit until today. I should have reached my chemistry class instead of walking through the hallway with 80% of the crowd focusing their attention on me. I didn't even know why they were doing all these stupid things. What did I do? I didn't cause a scandal or something. Then, why did it seem like I was the subject of their discussion? God, this was so confusing and tiring.My palms had become sweaty. Funny how I thought I had it under control. I thought I was scared of people's intense stares anymore. Yes! I wasn't freaked out. But, that was when Romeo gave me

I flinched and quickly shrank from him. His words were hurting me. This hurts more than what he said which made me hit him on the face. I looked into his eyes. I regretted not avoiding his intense eye contact. His bright green eyes were burning with anger. I hated to see that kind of expression. I hated it more that I was the cause. He was irritated by my presence.My lips trembled badly. I thought of leaving his house and going back to school. But, I was already here. I should not give up. I should take care of my mess. I needed to get my man back. I swallowed hard and I moved closer to him. I nibbled on my bottom lip. "Romeo," I said gently."Why the heck are you so stubborn? Listen to me and leave this damn house." Romeo snapped at me, pounding his fist on the table. "You can do this, Ivy. Don't be freaked out by his voice. You can do it." I said to myself, my hands tightening into fists.Romeo stood up from where he was sitting and walked over to his bed. He slumped on his king

IVYMy eyes opened slowly. I woke up with a banging headache. My head hurt as hell, as if I hit my head on a wall.I raised my head from the desk. I glanced around the room and instantly remembered that I was not in my room. Of course, I wouldn't place my head on the desk if I was in my house. I was in Romeo's house and I was here on a mission. I had something to do yet I slept off. "Why am I like this?" I muttered to myself. I recalled that he was sitting on the bed and giving me a silent treatment before I drifted to my dreamland. Where the fuck did he go? I hope he didn't leave the house or something. I needed to talk to him. I had to. We should resolve the issue between us. Today or never. I might not have a chance to talk to him after today. I stood up and walked out of Romeo's house. I should go to the living room first. If he wasn't here, I would look for him around the house. Romeo wouldn't leave the house because of me, he would rather ignore me. He would

Romeo spoke."What a pervert!" I muttered under my breath, as the corners of my mouth curled upwards. Something in me told me he would say something and he talked. My plan to make him speak worked. It felt like I've already achieved a lot. Well, it was worth an achievement. I chewed on my bottom lip. I suddenly felt shy with the way he was staring intensely at me. His bright green eyes were digging holes into my body. I hope he wasn't expecting me to strip. I was just messing around with him, I didn't mean what I said. "Romeo," I said, breaking the uncomfortable silence. "I am sorry."Romeo didn't say anything, his eyes were still piercing into mine. I knew he was paying attention to my words, he just chose not to reply.I didn't know what to do. Should I strip? He might even decide not to say anything, even after I strip. That would be a useless plan.My lips began to tremble."Romeo, please respond," I pleaded. My hands tightened into fists. If this was a torture or punishment, h

"You are late, Ivy." Freya said as I entered her restaurant, she had a frown on her face.Her eyes went back to what she was doing. The restaurant was kind of busy today, a lot of people came to dine."I know." I muttered under my breath."Why are you still wearing your school uniform?" Freya questioned me. "Does it matter?" I mumbled.This time around, Freya looked up. She scanned me with her eyes for a while. "What is wrong with you? Are you okay, Ivy? Should I call your mother?" Freya bombarded me with questions.I gave a half shrug."I'm okay. Like, very okay. What should I do?" I asked her.Freya went silent, her eagle eyes were fixed on me. Finally, she broke the silence."I think you need a break. Maybe, you should take today off. I have hired a few workers, I'll tell your mother you shouldn't work anymore.""Thank you." I muttered and walked out of her presence.I was supposed to board a cab to my house. But then, I needed to think. I needed the cool breeze. I had to clear my

My stomach was full of butterflies, I could feel them fluttering around inside me, filling me with anxiety. My palms broke out in sweat as his eyes remained fixed on me. Murmurs filled the air. It was so obvious that he was only staring at me.I instantly broke the intense eye contact. I couldn't hold his gaze for too long. He was making me feel so strange inside of me.I squeezed my eyes shut." What the fuck are you doing to me, Romeo? " I muttered under my breath." Are you okay, Ivy? " Joey asked, her voice was filled with concern.I opened my eyes, taking a deep breath. " Yes, I am okay. I need to get out of this place. It is so hot here. " I uttered. Before I could stand up, I heard Jake's voice behind me. Joey's boyfriend was coming here. That should be 80% probability that Romeo would be coming with him. I remained glued to my seat. I didn't want to leave now. I might bump into Romeo, that would be worse. If only his gaze could make me feel this way, imagine what could happen

My mouth fell open. I was completely caught off guard by Romeo's defense of me. Why would Romeo speak up for me? Shock washed over me like a wave, eclipsing any embarrassment I might have felt. My heart was beating so fast. I looked down as I tried to process what had just happened. For a moment, the class room was completely silent. If a pin fell down, I was sure I could hear the pin drop. Everyone was stunned by the sudden defense of me. No one expected anyone to stand up for me and the unexpected support left everyone speechless. What stunned everyone even more was that it was Romeo who had defended me. No one expected him to stick up for me and the fact that he did made the silence even more deafening.The first boy who spoke cleared his throat. " You don't have to do this, Romeo. Everyone knows you are not together anymore. So, what is the point?" He babbled. " I want you to dare me. Mess around with her and you will see what I am capable of doing. Asshole. " Romeo threatened h

My mouth fell open. I was shocked to see him. I struggled to swallow a gulp that was stuck in my throat, trying to process what was happening. My mind reeled with thoughts of everything that had happened today. I left the bookstore a few minutes ago, James a.k.a human gôogle gave me a ride to my house. Then, the door opened and I saw my ex boyfriend standing there. "Please, let this be a dream. I need to wake up right now." I thought to myself. I chewed on my bottom lip and stared at the floor. I didn't want to meet his gaze. I wondered what Romeo was doing in my house. Had he been sent to torment me? Why couldn't he just leave me alone? Finally, I looked up. I met his gaze and saw nothing but blankness in his eyes. His forest green eyes bored into my honey brown eyes. I hated that his intense gaze made me feel weak in my knees. I felt an overwhelming urge to wrap my arms around him and hold him close. My heart raced as I thought about kissing him. I wanted to feel his touch on m

ROMEOI gently took her hand in mine, looking into her eyes. I gave it a little squeeze and whispered. "Ivy, I'm sorry." I said, speaking from my heart. Ivy pulled her hands away from mine, looking away from me. She was silent. The tears had stopped falling from her honey brown eyes but they still lingered there. "Ivy." I called her name.I heard her stifle a sob, but a few tears still slipped down her cheeks.My eyelids dropped. God, I hated to see her shed tears. The thought that I was the one who made her cry filled me with guilt. I hated myself more than anything right now, the hatred I had for myself even surpassed the one I'd for my father.Once again, I hurt another girl. I knew I was the baddest guy in high school, I had broken a lot of girls' hearts. But, at least, it was a fair game for them. They wished to sleep with the school bad boy and I granted their wish. They wanted more than just a night thing, but I couldn't offer them anything deeper. I only saw them

Two weeks had passed since my breakup with Romeo, and I was still coming to terms with my new reality. I had come to terms with the fact that we were no longer an item, our history was now a thing of the past. I was over him. There was no doubt in my mind that I had moved on. Well, I couldn't deny that I still had some feelings for him. He was my first love, and it wasn't easy to let go of the memories and feelings I had for him. But, I was not the Ivy who acts awkward or out of character around him, I had let go of that childish act. Romeo didn't come to school often, his attendance was inconsistent. When he came to school, he usually kept to himself or trained with the soccer team.There were a lot of rumors swirling around him. Some people said he had impregnated a woman, and others said he had taken a job. No one knew the real story. I could sense something was troubling him, but he didn't confide in me before our relationship ended.I sighed and leaned back in my chair, I was
